Lazy Ballerina Winery

Great atmosphere and staff was really really nice. I would give them 5 stars but the pours were were inconsistent. The bottle prices were very reasonable but the by-​the-​glass price was a bit stiff. We loved the pirouette and white swam wines. They offered both a tasting (came with a logo glass and truffle) and a wine flight (came with a chocolate sampler). The flight was a great deal! We will be back.

This place was fun. They give you a Lazy Ballerina glass, a chocolate (which is made down the street), and animal crackers in between tastings.

Whoa! Well, well, well… who knew all this attitude and personality could fit in a spot in a strip mall?
Walking in, we were immediately greeted by Lauren (one of the owners), who got us on the path of our wine tasting. I enjoyed all of the pours, some better than others but there was not one bad wine in the house. While enjoying my wine & snapping pictures… I noticed some really cute things available for sale. My pick was a stemless wine glass that reads «wine flies when you’re having fun». .. How true is that?!
Lauren was knowledgeable & so very friendly. . She educated us & explained that Lazy Ballerina was a name of a trellis that a wine grapevine is grown on. So not only did I enjoy my delicious wine, I learned something too… Oh if I only had time to sit on their comfy couch to enjoy a glass. I guess I will just have to come back! P. S. I bought six bottles to hold me over ;-)

Living in Lansing I’m sad that I can’t get my new favorite wine, Sweet Nita’s Red This winery has a fun atmosphere and the owners are very educated in all things wine. I love that I can sit in a comfy couch with my girlfriends to enjoy a nice glass of wine and yummy food!

Amazing wine! Recommend for everyone to stop in and support the local business and to try their wonderful wine options :)

This is a cute tasting room with nice table seating — not common in most of the tasting rooms in the area. Their tasting is $ 6 for five pours and a chocolate truffle and they have options to purchase wines by the glass and of course, bottles as well. The pours were very conservative but I didn’t mind because there wasn’t a wine in the bunch that I really wanted to drink more of. They were all very thin and uninteresting — and ranged from tasteless whites with no personality to sickeningly sweet reds that reminded me of old rotting fruit. I don’t expect «Napa-​like» quality in Southwest Michigan wines but we have enjoyed some that are drinkable — not here.
Another unusual characteristic of this tasting room — they have food. That’s a nice touch and will likely be more of a draw than the wines. We didn’t eat during this visit but they have a small menu consisting of mostly wraps and salads. We saw a few wraps come out of the kitchen while we were there and they looked large.
If you’re in St. Joe’s for a day of shopping and sightseeing — you’ll probably stop in for a taste and maybe lunch. I’m not sure they have enough going for them to bring many people back for a repeat visit.

A wine tasting room with food! This is a great place to stop for a tasting or a glass of wine and a snack. Love the veggie wrap with spicy feta sauce. And the chocolate truffle with your flight. The atmosphere is whimsical and really comfortable.
I love dry wines, like the White and Black swans, but the semi drys are really good too — especially the Graceful Resistance. But you have to try the Sweet Nita’s that they named after their grandmother :)
